In her Shoes
“In her Shoes” is a film based on family misunderstandings and loyalty. What I particularly liked about this movie is the actress, Shirley MacLaine role as the grandmother, Ella Hirsch. It is no wonder that she has been nominated for the golden globe for her supporting role in this …
Film Some Kind of Wonderful
Viewed by many as a gender switched redo of John Hughes and Howard Deutch previous collaboration Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful is so much more than this and it is a kind of unfair label.
The stories and characters are much different. Whereas, Pretty in Pink focused on …
Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …

My Sassy Girl
My sassy girl is a very funny movie. As per my own opinion, the Hollywood version is better than the Korean version, because the Korean version, I think it is a bit dragging, there are some scenes that aren’t really needed but I guess the writer and the director …
City of Joy film
Directed by Roland Joffe, City of Joy is a poignant film that touches the heart and even the very fabric of our souls. I’m not one who tends to enjoy a lot of in depth films that take place in other countries, but this tale of an American …

Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.
So anyway, Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter the good guy - a former cop turned airline …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …
Movie: Vampires Suck
The movie Vampires Suck is probably the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. It is a direct spoof of all the teen vampire movies and books that have been released due to the Twilight Saga phenomenon.
There are a lot of “in-jokes” for the fans, and …
Iron Man (2008)

Steel Magnolias showcases the talents of Shirley MacLaine (Ouiser), Sally Field (M’Lynn), Dolly Parton (Truvy), Julia Roberts (Shelby), Olympia Dukakis (Clairee) and Daryl Hannah (Annelle). With a cast like that, how can you go …
The Ninth Gate, movie
Johnny Depp steps out in a new role as a rare book expert preying on the loss and misfortune of others. It’s a long way from his more known characters, but his performance is excellent in this dark and somewhat comical exploration of secret societies and the quest to …

While trying to find something to entertain my daughter …
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite of all Wes Anderson’s movies, and, alongside several other films, is one of my favorites overall. The script, written by Both Anderson and frequent collaborator (and star) Owen Wilson (and nominated for an Academy Award), is, in my opinion, one of the finest …

Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …

Good Boy movie
My sister loves to watch this movie. She watches it a lot, almost every day. I kind of get sick of watching it to tell you the truth. I think it is more of a kid’s movie than for anyone. I think that it is kind of childish.
It’s …
